A company as design-centric as Apple will be very sensitive to color in its products. Colors go in and out of fashion very quickly, and though Apple probably could claim a certain leadership in this area, I think their color choices are partly derived from trends already at work within the design field. That said, I'm not nearly tuned-in enough to guess what the next colors will be, but I don't think consistency across the full product line is Apple's first concern.

Black, sorry don't see it happening. Why? There are a lot of PeeCees out there in black, and even though Apple would outdesign (?) them, they wouldn't stand out quite as much. And well, Apple (as well as users of) likes to think and more importantly be different

Remember when the rumor was that we were going to get different colored G3 towers (B/W series) a la the iMac flavors? I remember seeing that someone had done a strawberry G3 tower mockup. It was cool.

The PowerMac will never be made of metal. The only reason the TiBook is metal is to make the casing so thin as to facilitate a 1" thickness. I would look for Apple to continue on the "colorless" trend for a while (i.e. white, grey, "silver", metallic, black accents). As for the colors, Apple's probably saying, "been there, done that."
